I'll second that sir yes sir with a you are correct sir :thumbsup

I have related questions on tranny fluids. I'm a "car guy" but never worked on a DSM before. Buddy's wife's '99 Eclipse (420A) had a tranny flush at Jiffyboobs about 35000 miles ago, car has 60000 miles now. I confirmed they use only Dexron crap.
Should I go ahead and swap out the fluid, or are there any risks with that? Tranny has had no problems.
I've done searches that refer to a +4 fluid...I'll pick up either +3 or +4, whatever is available. Does the brand matter? That looks like Aamco in the pic. Valvoline also makes a +3.

I will vacuum out the pan from the dipstick hole, refill with the new stuff, and then drain the return line while adding fluid to the dipstick port. Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I just flushed the entire system with the aamco fluid and its running really smooth..pretty good price from autozone also

I use the new Mopar ATF +4, you can get it at your dealer. 5 gallon jug is about 18-20 bucks.

get that shit out ASAP.. IMO call jiffyboobs and make them pay for a rebuilt tranny. IMO they just fucked your tranny. even though you have no problems now they could have done major damage/wear.
